3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
CAUTION
1. Hold the tool securely while it is in use.
· If the tool is not held securely, you may be injured.
2. Keep your hands and face away from the mov-
ing parts.
· They may cause an injury.
3. Release the Switch immediately to stop opera-
tion when the tool is out of order or makes an
abnormal sound during use.
Have it inspected and repaired by an autho-
rized service center.
· Failure to do so may result in damage or injury.
4. If you drop or strike the tool, check carefully
that the body is not damaged, cracked, or
deformed.
· Any such damage could cause injury.
5. Do not short the battery. A battery short can
cause a large current flow, overheating, pos-
sible burns and even a breakdown.
· Do not touch the terminals with any conductive
materials.
· Avoid storing battery in a container with other
metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
· Do not expose battery to water or rain.
· Do not cut the cord.
6. Do not operate the tool or charge the battery in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of lacquer, paint, benzin, thinner, gasoline, gasses
or adhesive. This may cause an explosion or fire.
7.
Do not charge the battery on paper, cardboard,
cloth, cushions, mats, carpets, vinyl or in the pres-
ence of dust. This may cause fire.
8.
Do not expose the Charger to water or metal items
that can short out the charging terminals.
9. Do not use charger for any other purpose than
charging the battery.
10. Make sure tipped saw blades have no chips or
cracks before using the tool.
11. Do not use water or cutting oil when cutting.
12. Use only Makita genuine tipped saw.
13. Do not leave the tool on the floor with switch
locked on. The tool will run continuously and it
may cause personal injury.
14. Do not operate the tool close to flammable and
fragile items or personnel not necessary to the
operation. During cutting hot debris and sparks will
be ejected from the tool which may cause damage
to the surroundings, fire or personal injury.
15. Do not cut concrete. It causes damage to the tool
and may result in personal injury.
16. Check for the presence of people on the ground
during operation in an elevated place. Any materi-
als or tools dropped may cause an accident.
17. If during charging, there is an abnormal generation
of heat, stop charging immediately by disconnect-
ing the battery. Continuing charging may cause
smoke, fire or explosion.
18. Do not allow anything to cover or clog the motor
vents.
This may cause the motor to overheat.
19. When using an extension cord with the charger,
it is recommended to use a cord with the cross
section below and with a length as short as pos-
sible. For charging outdoors, use a cord rated for
outdoor use.

WARNING FOR USING
TIPPED SAW
Work area safety
1. Ensure the Dust Bag is fixed correctly. Without the
Dust Bag, when Tipped Saw Blades are damaged,
pieces of the blades fly off and can cause serious
personal injury.
2. Keep bystanders away from operations. Even with
the Dust Bag fitted, damaged blades or hot debris
can fly out of the bag, resulting in serious personal
injury.
3. Sparking may occur when cutting with Tipped Saw
Blades. Do not use the tool where there is the risk
of fire or explosion.
